Jack's Rifle (Bushmaster ACR)
Throughout the film, Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) carries a futuristic rifle as his main armament, which is a dressed up Bushmaster ACR. The rifle has a shell attached to it that surrounds the stock and upper receiver to make it appear more futuristic, and the base-rifle is always seen loaded with 10 round magazines. It has an Oveready/TorchLAB weaponlight above the barrel, integrated inside the shell. Harper always carries the rifle on a custom white Magpul MS-3 sling. Julia Rusakova (Olga Kurylenko) briefly has the rifle slung on her back as she goes to the Radiation zone with Jack on a motorbike.
According to ISS, they had to custom make the short 10 round mag to make it even shorter for the movie.
AKM (custom)
A couple of the resistance fighters carry heavily customized AKM rifles in the film, including Kara (Zoe Bell). The rifles have had their stocks removed, and a large loop-grip fitted on the usual AKM-grip. The rifles are also fitted with black furniture.
Barrett M82A1
One of the resistance members (Tim J. Smith) uses a Barrett M82A1 fitted with a custom scope, a large muzzle brake resembling an M107A1 one (except with 5 chambers rather than 4), and a skeleton shell while fighting a drone.
Sykes' Skeleton Rifle
Sergeant Sykes (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) carries a skeletony sniper rifle as his primary firearm in the film. Unlike the other skeleton rifles built on Heckler & Koch MP5s, this particular rifle doesn't seem to be based on anything.

Several of the resistance members carry Heckler & Koch MP5 series submachine guns, that have been fitted with customized futuristic skeleton shells in the film.
Machine Guns
Browning M2
Two Browning M2 machine guns are mounted on a mount improvised from a drone's armored shell in the film's climactic battle. Malcolm Beech (Morgan Freeman) blazes away in a particularly heroic stand.
